Did you know that in the past three years, the WA Department of Mines and Petroleum has received notification of more than 160 electric shock incidents during welding, an average of more than one incident every week? (Reference Mines Safety Bulletin 117, dated Dec 22, 2014)

Competency Training, in conjunction with the Welding Technology Institute of Australia (WTIA), has developed a course to raise awareness among personnel. The course is based on WTIA technical notes 7 (Health and Safety in Welding) and 22 (Welding Electrical Safety) and covers topics including:

Legislation and Australian Standards,
Work practices and equipment, including PPE,
Insulating materials,
Voltage reduction devices (VRDs), and
Case studies of welding incidents

This course is currently available as a company course and we are taking expressions of interest for individual enrolments. For more information or to make a booking, contact us.

Good class engagement with all participants. Great subject matter knowledge. Overall wonderful experience.

Fantastic course content led by a great teacher. Very happy, and I feel that I have learnt a lot in the week.

(EEHA Student)

Was well presented no death by power point extremely practical best one I have completed

Teacher was excellent, very knowledgeable, very personable, didn’t shut people down. Absolute 10/10. When training people to be an assessor he should be the model they learn how to be like.

I’ve done this course a number of times and it can sometimes drag. The trainer made the course enjoyable and relevant to my job. I found his way of presenting easy to understand and he had a wealth of knowledge and experience that we could relate back to our own workplace.

Really enjoyed it, teacher was so good! Really approachable and passionate, it is such a dangerous task and I feel like I have been given amazing training to feel confident and ready to start switching. Thank you very much couldn’t recommend a better teacher.

Great system of learning at the course. Not rushed with time for questions. Very supportive for my first HV switching course. Thumbs up

I have left the course feeling a lot more confident in my abilities to complete my EEHA responsibilities at site. There was a lot of content but our trainer delivered it in a way that was not overwhelming.

The trainer was an extremely knowledgeable instructor. His delivery of the course was outstanding and he is very friendly and approachable.

Instructor was very knowledgeable and informative. Would definitely recommend him

Was a great teacher and a very friendly people person, will be recommending courses to my company.
